Is there a way to stop/block/disable assignment comments from students & parents? I use comments one way (from me) and expect students to see me personally with assignment questions.
@carrie_marusich Unfortunately, there is no way to limit students from making comments on assignments. It looks like there are a couple feature ideas for this that you may want to follow:

We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable.
